Anti-PCNA antibody

A positive anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen antibody test mostly refers to the occurrence of systemic lupus erythematosus, which is also an unfavorable diagnosis result of the disease itself.

When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen antibody test was positive. I also had adverse symptoms in my life, such as some erythema on my skin and itching. This is a marker for systemic lupus erythematosus. It has a high specificity, but a lower sensitivity. It is negative in normal people. If the test result is positive, I have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus and need to cooperate with the doctor in time to make effective treatment according to the severity of the disease.

The higher the value during the anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen antibody test, the greater the significance of the positive result. It is usually more common among the elderly and people with low immunity. Immunosuppressants can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can help the antigens in the body gradually return to normal and also allow the systemic lupus on the skin to slowly recover.

During the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, you can also go to the hospital for reexamination. During the reexamination, if the anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen antibodies in the body return to negative, it means that the disease has recovered.
